Cannot Install SP2

[Guest]

I am trying to install SP2 on an XP Home Edition computer. SP2 setup starts
but during inspection of current configuration I get the error 'Cannot verify
file update.inf.' I have tried two different SP2 CDs with same result. Any
suggestions?

Hi

A batch file that I have created might help out on this problem.

Go to
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#Cannot_install_Service_Pack_2

Look for fixdb.bat under "Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from
or write to the database". Download and run it.
